Until I got into the spiritual field as a teacher, I didn't even have the thought of what... I want like, what do you mean? I just learned how to be burned by fire until I can sit in it. And then the downside of that was I could be in fire and be the balance of it, but then people would take advantage of me. And I thought of that as a spiritual practice or a showing of goodwill.
But, but for me, I think just to kind of reduce it down into one thing, I think insight is always connected to relationship. So there was never this idea of me getting away from my ego. I never knew that.
Ego trying to erase the ego. So I always had a relationship with my ego. I had a relationship with my mind. I didn't know that that was the uncool thing to have.
I didn't know any of this stuff. So when I came into this field, I either thought, okay, I'm either onto something or I'm like insane and I shouldn't be here. Like I am a lunatic and I am in the wrong place, but everyone seems to like what I say. And none of them made sense to me because everything was always about a relationship.
And whenever you separate relationship from wisdom, you're an object and then object seeks preference and usually is going to be a state or I have to accept, I have to forgive. I can't identify. I can't All these things, and you find yourself reconditioning yourself with spiritual wallpaper, and you're primed and ready for a cult. Whether the cult leader is outside of you or in your own mind.
And so for me, the most important thing that I teach, that we teach together now, wisdom cannot be divided from relationship. Relationship is the beginning, middle, and end of the entire path. And that for me has been everything.
It reminds me like when we were on one of our first dates. I think it was our first date. And, you know, we came together very quickly.
Just a recognition. Within five minutes.
And then by the end of the weekend, we were in a relationship. A year later, we were married. And so I had said to the universe five minutes before I walked into the event, I said, you know, cause I was booked in Sedona, Arizona for the third time in four months. And I was like, I don't know why I'm here. I lived there. She lived there.
And I was like, you know, I've been looking for a relationship my whole life. I'm pretty over it. I'm tired. Um, I don't think I even need to be in a relationship right now. You know what universe I'm done being in relationship. And if I meet someone, I'm going to take it slower than I've ever taken in my life. Five minutes later, I meet her five minutes. We're completely connected.
I go from not being in a relationship to being one instantly. The fastest I've ever done in my life. Wow. And when we were on one of our first dates, we were talking and we both had reflected that we're excited, but we're afraid.
And so then what we said to each other is, well, let's be afraid together. And so we went on a date with our fears.
It's so funny how complimentary our teachings are, but we're also very different people.
When we think of intuition versus fear, I think one of the confusing things is
is that people don't know what to trust because they have an agenda they want something to like when you go on a first date you want it to work out you want that to be your person you're tired of being alone you want to finally write you want to work out and so oh my god is this the person and then your intuition says no oh it can't be that fast i'm judging doubting it yeah so here's what i did in my life before we met this is actually really funny people talk about you know the power of now i i
developed the power of no so what i realized in my life was i would go into experiencing wanting things to be a yes and i would interpret things to look for the signs that made it to what i wanted to be and i would put myself in situations that would negate my own guidance many years earlier so i developed this funny little practice where if i went into a business meeting or if i was meeting someone i would always go in with
I go in as an absolute no, and I'll give this five minutes of my time. And then all of a sudden, I'd go, wait a second, two more minutes. And I'd let the no take me to a yes. Instead of trying to go to the yes and looking for confirmation, I got comfortable with being without. I got comfortable with saying no.
And I realized that one of the reasons why people don't know the difference between a fear and their intuition is because they want their yeses, but they're not...
empowered in no their agenda is sneaking in and projecting what it should be and what they want it to be yeah even in my life i developed this other funny little caveat where i said i don't know is a no because when you hear it it's not i don't yes yeah it's i don't know yeah i heard a no yeah so it's a no yeah i hear people like if it's not a hell yes it's a no right yeah
And so I was living my life with this embracing no, that I would go in and I would listen to something, but I would start in no. And then all of a sudden I'd go, wait a second, let me listen. And I would let the yes inform me. And I think when we have, I want what I want,
